Comment: Bread Factory @ Prenzlauer Promenade 39, 13089 Berlin, Germany

A legend for dumpster divers coming to Berlin. An industrial bakery that throws out perfectly good bread and cakes, sometimes just baked, into the largest dumpster any of us have ever seen. However, it is apparently no longer accessible, because (a) you will be asked to leave, or (b) the dumpsters have been moved. The location needs verification.

North of the gas station there is a driveway leading behind the shopping center. Once there, turn right and look for the green bins. There should be three of them, one of them, closer to the back doors, is full of bread, a swimming pool of bread. If the dumpster is closed, you can open it with the crank mechanism on the bottom. You should close it when you're done. Be discrete and courteous - we've been generally well tolerated there until now, and the factory runs 24 hours. Be sure to bring a flashlight, and a friend, because sometimes you have to jump in and it can be difficult to get back out alone. Furthermore, in the summer, there are wasps (sometimes), and there are sweets! So bring plastic because it can be sticky.

To get there, you can take the tram up Prenzlauer Allee until it turns sharply to the right, and then just walk from there (3 minutes). The trams run all night, and they can be ridden for free since they never check. The M10 runs along Danziger and can meet up at Prenzlauer Allee and can go from there.
